Throughout his time in England, Muscat was infamous for his particular brand of defending, and he was hit with a £250,000 settlement with former Charlton Athletic player Matty Holmes after the Addicks man was forced to undergo FOUR operations on his leg after a tackle from Muscat.

The Australian, who was dubbed "the most hated man in football" by former Birmingham City defender Martin Grainger, was given a red card just nine minutes into a match against Grimsby while at Wolves.

In his first match back from suspension while playing for Melbourne Victory in 2011, Muscat was widely condemned for a tackle on Melbourne Heart's Adrian Zaha that left his opponent with knee ligament damage and ended his season.

Throughout his professional career, Muscat was yellow carded 123 times.
